Royal Saragahi – why do we remember the battle? Because it speaks to our martial traditions as Khalsa!

This was understood and promoted by HH Balbir Singh Bahadur, Raja of Faridkot when he installed these tablets containing Sikh scripture praising the Sikh warrior ethos at Saragarhi Gurdwara Ferozepur.

Today, this post honours Punjab’s new Chief Minister who is upholding the memory of the battle of Saragarhi.

Thank you Captain Amarinder Singh of Patiala for ordaining 12 September as a national holiday in Punjab – long may the battle inspire our men and women to be Khalsa and undertake gallant deeds for our nation!
